The world's first waterless, inkless UV printer

The compact Genius 52UV is the world's first waterless, ink-free UV sheet-fed offset press, with the widest range of substrates to be processed in the B3 format. The machine's water-free technology ensures reliable reproducibility and outstanding offset quality without ghosting. The machine uses UV-curing inks for four- or five-color printing, and the ink can be quickly and completely hardened so that subsequent processing can be performed immediately after printing.

Accurate overprint on expensive substrates

The machine is arranged using a satellite drum equipped with a central impression cylinder. This structure allows the Genius 52UV to have a very small footprint and a distinctive shape. Since no transfer of paper is required during the imprinting process, it always guarantees 100% registration, so that only minimal waste occurs when processing expensive materials.

No need to wash at night

The biggest advantage of the Genius52UV is that it can run continuously without cleaning. Because the ink can remain stable, only UV light can make it dry. It is possible to work continuously for several weeks without cleaning the printer until we need to add a PMS (Panton Matching System) color.

Make the card manufacturer's production capacity greatly improved
